Understanding a moving quote

Price
Of course, this will be the first thing you look at upon receiving your quote, but we encourage you to broaden and deepen your research, as some aspects may vary from one quote to another.

Volume
Volume already provides a basic comparison point, although it can differ from one estimator to another, with some potentially overestimating or underestimating. 

Addresses
Are the pickup and delivery points clearly specified as per your request? Is it door-to-door or depot-to-depot service ?

Category/Services/Information
Is the breakdown of responsibilities clearly stated in your quote ? 

Does your mover also inform you about the customs formalities in the destination country ? 

Extras
If you live in a cul-de-sac or in the city center on the 4th floor, has the extra charge for stairs or an external elevator been included ?

Deadlines
Do you have specific dates that must be adhered to ? Can your mover accommodate your schedule ? How long will the ship take to reach Bangkok ?

Payment Terms
How much deposit do you need to pay ? When do you need to settle the balance of your move ? Is insurance included ? 

Certification
Is your mover certified and a member of the moving industry's trade association ?

What guarantees do they offer for their services ? 

Beware of companies that own no trucks or employees and subcontract your move.

Validity
Check the validity of your quote. Moving has its high seasons, and tariff periods can vary. Likewise, as maritime freight rates fluctuate with oil prices, this can impact costs.

Acceptance Procedure
When do you need to confirm your quote ? What does this commitment entail on your part ?

Insurance
Is insurance specified in your quote ? What is its cost ? Is the coverage adequate for the value of the goods entrusted ?

Clarity of the Quote
In summary, if any of the above points remain unclear, we advise you to contact the company again for a written response on all these matters.
